After DTD yesterday, today again (is that too much information for a forum?). NUDP both times. I think DH is getting used to the NUDP thing. Didn't even bat an eyelid the second time round...

spinningirl10 · 26/01/2014 15:48

Oh and I did a bit of UNDP when dp fell asleep!! Grin

spinningirl10 · 26/01/2014 15:45

Well we've dtd twice today!!! CD 11 for me so hopefully ov tomorrow, must poas and see if I have a line yet!

Juliettesmommy · 26/01/2014 15:32

Hello everyone - just checking in. I believe I'm the first on the list for my expected BFP date - as its actually right on the end of jan anyway, hope its ok I jumped on board here! I'm embarrassed to say I have already caved and poas this am even though I'm just 9dpo (I think, I have not been using opks or anything but I have a pretty regular cycle) and haven't had a singe pregnancy symptom, other than those my mind has been fabricating! Well of course it was negative, sigh. Must have some self control and wait a few more days!! This wait is so hard eh?

barmybunting · 26/01/2014 15:05

We will indeed be missmrs! That and I think my next career change plan is going to be doing a reflexology course and setting up a manuka bee keeping set up in the back garden Smile . I realise the latter would mean a move to New Zealand but it sounds like fun!

missmrsmummy · 26/01/2014 14:49

Oh well, if nothing else, we will all be relaxed and have amazing immune systems! Grin

barmybunting · 26/01/2014 14:42

mum2kiss I panicked when I arrived at aldi as they had moved it! But thankfully I found it again, and promptly bought four jars! Just in case they run out! DH saw me unpacking it and I told him I had bought it for him because he loves honey, but then realised I don't want him eating it all so I will have to ration it for him Smile .

Reflexology is free for the first trial session here, £32 for an hour after that. I don't know how often it's recommended really, going to give it a few gos in the hope it regulates my cycle then see where it goes from there.

babytinks89 · 26/01/2014 14:00

I'm using cheapy opks bought online.... will try them but think me and dh will dtd pretty much every night now until 3rd/4th feb just incase we miss it haha ...
this has to be our month, getting far too impatient now, couldnt go through all this stress again... Sad

KittyVonCatsington · 26/01/2014 13:53

My 1hour reflexology is costing me £43. Planning on only one session and it will be CD10 by then.

Quick question about ClearBlue digis... My Boots own brand advised against FMU but CB digis say to use FMU. Am I reading this correctly?

babytinks89 · 26/01/2014 13:51

Thanks missmrsmummy Smile
Cd10 for me tomorrow so i've read to start then... But cause my cycle is irregular since mc in november 37 day cycle then 34 say cycle, grr give me strength!!

missmrsmummy · 26/01/2014 13:28

Wow Charlie I thought it was £4.99 - even better!

missmrsmummy · 26/01/2014 13:27

Babytinks (cute name!) I have been using Clearblue digital. I have found them very useful. There is a chart in the instructions where you look at your cycle length and it tells you when to start testing (so you don't start too early and waste them). They are quite expensive (£20+) but the result is so clear - empty circle if not ovulating and smiley face if you have a LH surge (means you will ovulate in the next day or two).

I have seen cheaper ones but they are not digital so you have to judge whether the line is strong or not... I can't be doing with that! Just want a clear answer so I can start dtd!

Hope that helps Smile

Charlie343 · 26/01/2014 13:26

Aldi Manuka raw honey bought and only £3.99 ready for my koala plan cycle!

SnowBells · 26/01/2014 13:24

How much do you guys pay for reflexology, and how often do you go? Around £45 each time where I am - would be pricey to do once a week...

seasavage · 26/01/2014 13:17

Re. Koala plan. DH has jusrlt suggested the pillow under bum at start of DTD will make achieving orgasm easier and make NUPD easier. .. Think he's reading Cosmo at work :-)

mum2kiss · 26/01/2014 13:03

Lol @ running back to aldi barmy hope they had a good stock!

Christmaas nudp is naked upside down pedalling! This is one of the steps of the koala plan (developed by a fellow mumsnetter!) I believe the steps are:
Teaspoon of manuka honey a day
orgasm after dh when dtd
Nupd for as long as you can
then pillow propped under your bum for 30 mins...

I may have missed something but that's the general gist!

babytinks89 · 26/01/2014 12:38

CD9 for me today....
Anyone used opk's? When is it best to start using them, or is it even worth it? Me and Dh starting to dtd tonight, he is nightshift all of next week!!! Gutted told him he'll have to be jumping on me before i go to work haha i am not missing my day this month!!

BFP due 17/18/19th feb, due to an irregular cycle!!

Good luck sexy mamas to be!!

ItsChristmaass · 26/01/2014 12:33

Also can I ask, I keep seeing NUDP and koala in loads of posts.. What do they mean? Blush

missmrsmummy · 26/01/2014 12:32

Oh yay, I have found a maternity reflexologist near me where 25 mins pre-conception massage is £25. I'd previously have spent £50 a month on gym membership and I'm trying to exercise at home to save that money so I could use it towards this. Hopefully I'd only need one or two sessions! ;-)

When is it best to time it in your cycle? I'm on CD7 so should I go before I ovulate?

ItsChristmaass · 26/01/2014 12:31

I hopped aboard this bus a few days ago thinking af was coming, but didn't actually arrive til yesterday so I'll update my stats.
Ttc #2 cycle 14 bfp due 22nd

mum2kiss · 26/01/2014 12:28

Remember is drinking the honey warm not to put boiling water directly in to the mug! This will kill he antibacterial properties.

I usually put the honey in the mug first then add 1/3 - 1/2 of cold water then top up with boiling water so its immediately at drinkable temperature ;)

barmybunting · 26/01/2014 11:40

treacle I hope you find somewhere. You may need to phone the local colleges/unis to ask if nothing comes up online.

KittyVonCatsington · 26/01/2014 11:32

Oh no! how annoying, Owlie! We'll keep you company Smile

I've had reflexology before and they press hard - they don't do the light 'sweep' action you do when you tickle someone, so you won't be tickled (unless you are super sensitive!)
I do remember getting tingly sensations in other parts of the body such as my head and hands and it was bliss.

Owlie84 · 26/01/2014 11:29

Thank you! I hope it's a lucky bus for everyone!
